Adoption comes with a special set of challenges, and not all families who adopt can afford to pay for post-adoption counseling and other services to help meet and overcome those challenges. Thankfully, the government has a program for federal assistance for post-adoption services for families who have adopted domestically. Senator Klobuchar of Minnesota has proposed a bill that would extend those benefits to families of internationally adopted children. Any child adopted internationally becomes a US citizen upon completion of the adopt process, yet they are allowed no access to these post-adoption programs and services.
The bill proposed by Senator Klobuchar does not raise taxes, or create anything new. It simply allows a wider range of families access to an existing stream of funding. Signing the petition is easy and quick. Get the word out and help families of adopted children get access to post-adoption services, regardless of the country they were born in!
